# Connect your SIS

> Get an AnySchool invite, connect your roster in Clever, and confirm Type the Word imported the right schools and classes.

## Prerequisites

* Admin access to Canvas
* Admin access to your SIS
* A current roster of the schools, sections, teachers, and students who will use Type the Word

<Note>
  Type the Word uses
  [AnySchool](https://support.clever.com/s/articles/000001726) to import your
  roster. You do this from the invite we send after you share your interest.
  You do not need to create a Clever account.
</Note>

## Request an invite

<Steps>
  <Step title="Share your interest">
    [Share your interest with Type the
    Word](https://www.typetheword.com/christian-schools#interest). You will
    get an automated email. Reply to it and mention that you want to try
    the Canvas AnySchool integration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the invite">
    Josh will invite you to connect to Type the Word. Open the email from
    **App Onboarding**. The subject is **"Connect to Type the Word via
    AnySchool"**. Select **"Verify email and begin set up"**.

## Connect your roster in AnySchool

Follow Clever's [Rostering applications with
AnySchool](https://support.clever.com/s/articles/000001726) guide to choose a
data source, send the roster, and set up Canvas SSO.

Two Type the Word notes while you are in that guide:

* Do not skip **"Set up SSO"**. Select **"Canvas"** even if the step is marked
  **"Optional"**. Teachers and students should sign in from Canvas.
* If your SIS is not listed, prefer **"SFTP Directory"** so roster updates can
  land automatically. Use **"CSV upload"** only for a one-time import. Clever
  documents SFTP in [How to set up AnySchool SFTP
  uploads](https://support.clever.com/hc/s/articles/000001754).

## Verify the roster

After you finish AnySchool, wait for the **"Type the Words CSV Sync Report"**
email from Type the Word. Confirm **"Your upload was successful!"** and that
the student, teacher, section, school, and staff counts match your roster.

<Frame caption="1 is the success line. 2 is the counts to check against your roster.">

</Frame>

If the email lists errors, select **"Download error report"**, fix those rows,
and upload again.

## Setup complete

Nice work. Type the Word has access to your roster. Teachers and students
can already log in with Canvas. Email Josh Wootonn at
[josh@typetheword.com](mailto:josh@typetheword.com) and ask him to send
the **"Instant Login Link"** so you can test that.

There is one more step. To let Type the Word manage your assignments and
grades in Canvas, set up [LMS Connect](/canvas/connect-canvas).

## Troubleshooting

* **The invite expired:** Email [josh@typetheword.com](mailto:josh@typetheword.com) for a new AnySchool link.
* **The sync-report email lists errors:** Select **"Download error report"**, correct those rows, and upload the files again.
* **A user is missing:** Confirm the user is in a shared section in the files or SIS share you sent to AnySchool.
* **Only badge login appears:** Canvas SSO was not finished. Return to **"Set up SSO"** in the AnySchool guide, select **"Canvas"**, and enter the developer key.
